To Helen, my inimitable cousin; I suspect heaven has gained a new choir director, but you will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved you. Say Aloha to Great-Aunt Harriett and Great-Uncle Ambrose for me.
Much love and sympathy to all the family! You are in my thoughts as we celebrate Helen's life and mourn our loss.

What a great lady! I feel blessed to have been Helen's friend. She had a way of making everyone feel special. She loved people and it showed by the way she connected with her students.

Helen was such a good teacher and a huge help to me when I started teaching music at Kellar. Always very supportive, positive and a good friend. She will be missed.

Dear Alan, I send you and your family my love and prayers.
There are too many memories of Helen that are in my mind and heart and that I will always treasure. I want to relate a few that will keep us smiling and sometimes laughing. These are the jewels that sparkle for me. It is only Helen who could turn a difficulty around to put it all in perspective through her words, her look, her own laughter.
You recall there were three main medical incidences that I had had and for which...

My memories of Helen go back to college when she was my pledge daughter. Since we shared the name Helen, she was known as little Helen.
May you find peace knowing that she will be watching over all those she loved.
